Lordstown EV Trucks Recalled for EPB IssueLORDSTOWN, Ohio – Lordstown EV Corp is recalling five of its model-year 2023-2023 Lordstown Endurance due to a potential electronic parking brake issue (EPB). The issue could manifest itself in the electric pickup truck’s EPB not being able to effectively operate on an incline. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-144, “The electric park brake calipers “EPB” may have been built with washers that had not been properly heat treated by the supplier. There have not been any reports of crashes, injuries or property damage as a result of the condition causing the recall. The remedy is replacement of the Akebono-sourced electronic parking brake components by a Lordstown EV dealer.
